The Felt Mansion was meant to be a beautiful and spacious place of escape during the summer for the Felt family. It was a representation of a successful life set on the shores of Lake Michigan. Death doesn’t care about family or success. It comes when we least expect it and at cruel times. And that is what happened to the Felt family. Now it would seem that family spirits have chosen to stay here in the afterlife. Join us as we explore the history, legends and hauntings of the Felt Mansion!

Blood moons are not rare, but when they happen in consecutive cycles, they deserve some attention. They have occasionally been used as signs and wonders by Yahweh. Back in 2014 and 2015 there was a big craze that was called the Blood Moon Prophecies. Nothing came of this, but it doesn’t mean that blood moons aren’t important. Talking about full moons and blood moons makes those of us that are Weird Kids think of werewolves. Is it possible that the Bible talks about werewolves? Yes, yes it does!

The USS Forrestal was one of the largest aircraft carriers ever built. She served for nearly four decades before being decommissioned in 1993 and then she was scrapped in 2015. During the Vietnam War, the carrier experienced a devastating tragedy with bombs on board the ship that led to several fires and over a hundred men dead. And because of that, stories of ghosts on the ship have been told about her. One particular ghost was known as George. Join us for the history and hauntings of the USS Forrestal. The Moment in Oddity features The Cursing Stone and This Month in History features the end of the Guadalcanal Campaign. Our location was suggested by Karen Miller.

Murder is a ghastly matter. At the hands of a loved one, it truly becomes heinous. Most murder victims are murdered by someone they know and a high percentage are killed by either a lover or spouse. This is not a new statistic. History proves that to be a fact. Polstead, Suffolk, England was not a place where one would expect a murder to occur, particularly in 1827. But a crime of passion did take place here and a young woman was left dead. The horrifying murder was nicknamed the "Red Barn Murder" because of the location of the murder. The paranormal takes center stage in the solving of this case as the victim's stepmother was visited by her spirit at night, three times. And then there is the cursed skull of the murderer and his spirit.

The name "Wall Street" immediately brings images of financial markets, the stock exchange, ticker tapes and a giant bronze bull, but Wall Street was originally a wall that formed the northern boundary in the 17th century of what would become New York City. Eventually, the area near this wall would become the heart of America's financial district. Wall Street has inspired books and movies and led to probably hundreds of suicides. It's not surprising that Wall Street would have its share of haunts because not only is the Stock Market a volatile thing, but the financial district has a gory past. Join us for the history and hauntings of Wall Street. The Moment in Oddity features Bog Butter and This Month in History features the birth of Charles Darwin.

If you were a kid like me, dragons were a part of your youth. There were fantasy books to be read like “The Hobbit,” games to play like the Legend of Zelda and cartoons and movies featured dragons. Were these fantastical creatures a man-made creation woven into myths and legends of old that continued through the centuries or were they real? Could they still be here?

Carlinville is a small town stop along the original Route 66 and is located in Macoupin County, Illinois. The town is home to the "Million Dollar" Courthouse, which seems a bit out of place because it is so massive and cost so much to build. The building began as a small project that ballooned out of control, surrounded by money laundering schemes and scandals. Today, the courthouse is a top tourist attraction and is the final stop on the local ghost tour. Someone who knows a thing or two about that tour and has had her own experience at the courthouse is Courtney Egner. She will be joining us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Carlinville Courthouse. The Moment in Oddity features colored honey candy eating French bees and This Month in History features Norman Rockwell Birthday.
